Illegal Aliens,Criminals, and Hypersexual Spitfires: Latin@ Youth and Pedagogies of Citizenship in Media Texts

This article aims to broaden the ways we conceptualize citizenship and implement citizenship education in social studies. To do so, the authors explore media texts as a curricular and pedagogical site for teaching lessons about citizenship. Specifically, the authors investigate how media drafts the boundaries of citizenship for Latin@ youth, and influences how young people come to understand who is and who is not perceived as a citizen entitled to rights and freedoms. Media texts, like formal social studies curricula, are powerful and enduring educators that shape how students know the world and imagine their place in it. Therefore, this article addresses how social studies teachers can integrate media texts into the classroom to explore representations of Latin@s and the impact that media has on our citizenship identities and experiences.     

Making Sense of After‐School Care Dilemmas in Mothers' Stories of After‐School Care in Finland and Sweden

The study focuses on dilemmas in storied experiences of everyday after‐school care arrangements among Swedish and Finnish mothers. Finland and Sweden, which share a history of strong labour market attachment among women, arrange institutional after‐school care in similar ways. The data consist of interviews with three Swedish and six Finnish mothers. A positioning analysis of four stories shows how decisions related to children's after‐school hours were allocated among different actors. Two reoccurring dilemmas, Competent‐dependent child stories and Unburdened‐deficient mother stories, emerged from the data analysis as related to prevailing moral discourses on childhood and motherhood.     

Love Without Borders?

Since 2000, Denmark has imposed some of the strictest immigration laws in Europe. Consequently, family reunification has become increasingly difficult for immigrants as well as for Danish citizens. In the fall of 2010, the Danish family reunification laws became subject to criticism and protest by a citizens' initiative called ‘Love without Borders’ (LWB). The article investigates how LWB managed to generate political momentum around love: an affect which seems to promise inclusion, liberation and togetherness for those directly affected by the laws as well as those attempting to change the laws. Yet the idealized version of love promoted by LWB happened to take the form of romantic intimacy predominantly consisting of straight, young and white-brown couples oriented towards reproduction. Our main argument is that despite its good intentions of supporting migration the activist campaign ‘Love without Borders’ ends up supporting whiteness as the body through which love must flow. As an indicator of the racialized discourses informing LWB's activism the article introduces the concept of white transraciality. Thus, to LWB love seems to promise affective ties to the nation, to the future and to the political system in ways that sustain white hegemony. Building mainly on Sara Ahmed's and Laurent Berlant's reflections on love as cultural politics the article analyzes posters, viral videos and newspaper debates in its discussion of the promises and pitfalls of love as an affective political tool.     

‘Some people are not allowed to love’: intimate citizenship in the lives of people labelled with intellectual disabilities

Disability helps us think differently about the ‘ideal’ neoliberal-able citizen who may not equate to ideas of productive, sexual, ‘normal’. Intimate citizenship – our rights and access to intimacy – is often ignored by those working with people labelled with intellectual disabilities and in research. In this article, we discuss the outcome of a dialogue between self-advocates labelled with intellectual disabilities, academics, service providers, Aboriginal leaders, students and artists about intimate citizenship through love, intimate work and consumption.     

爱的存在——蒂利希终极关怀思想管窥

爱不仅是情感的维度,更具有存在的意义。作为终极关怀的一部分,爱与终极关怀休戚相关,爱的沉沦正是终极关怀的困境所在,而爱的诠释则是终极关怀的表达。爱的存在深入生命的深层,并通过象征、悖论以及信仰的方式呈现出来,爱的呈现既是生命的展开,也是终极关怀的践行。     

张载对孝悌思想的发展及其启示

孝悌是"仁"的根本和基础。北宋思想家张载对"孝悌"思想作了重要发展:首先,把天地当作父母,把所有的人和万物都当作兄弟和朋友;其次,把孝悌由一种品德提升为一种精神修养。张载对传统孝悌思想的发展具有深刻的启示:提升道德修养和精神境界需要从孝悌开始,同时需要具备感恩和移情能力。     

“欲望”与“禁忌”:中国现代女性作家的“思春”叙事

"思春"叙事是中国现代女性作家表达思想感情的重要方式,她们往往不像男性作家那样消弭了自我而去追随革命,相反,她们多以一种完全有悖于男性想象的心灵独语,十分隐晦地讲述女性对于情爱问题的矛盾心态:既渴望爱情的归宿又惧怕男性的伤害,既有本能欲望的冲动又有理性节制的掌控,她们正是通过文学艺术这种含蓄达意的表现方式,向社会展示了一种为男权话语所忽视了的精神世界。     

解析墨家思想中几个关键概念——兼评中国人的精神世界

墨家学派的几个关键概念——兼爱、尚同、非攻、天志、明鬼中存在着不可克服的不兼容性。以功利性为目的的"兼爱"导致了爱的错位;追求平等的"尚同"和"兼爱"产生不可克服的尖锐矛盾;"天志"和"明鬼"导致了精神世界爱的荒漠并为极权统治作好了精神上的铺垫。科学精神和墨学形同而质异,"五四"时期的思想大家倡导墨学存在失误。认识中国人的精神世界要注意墨家的消极影响。     

位格·爱·价值——从舍勒现象学的基本要素看其现象学的独特性

现象学在舍勒思想中不是借用的方法,而是与其哲学目标内在一致的思想主题,具有独特的内涵。从根本上说,现象学态度是作为位格之人的本质态度,人通过这种态度直观价值及其秩序的过程就是人摆脱动物状态,作为位格而存在,成为人本身的过程。     

An argument for love in intercultural education for teacher education

This paper proposes rethinking intercultural education in teacher education, arguing that any discussion of student teachers’ intercultural education should be connected more explicitly to a theoretical conceptualisation of love. The first part of the paper focuses on identifying discursive boundaries in engaging with intercultural education in teacher education. It is argued that if we are to develop intercultural education, we need to consciously move away from some discourses in teacher education, namely instrumentalism, performance orientation, emotionlessness and seeing the relationship between teacher and learner as static. The second half of the paper develops a theoretical alternative by engaging with the concept of love as a basis for intercultural education in pursuing an alternative to the instrumentalist, performance-based, non-emotional fixed-relationship ethos of intercultural education in teacher education.
